Echeveria setosa
Also called Mexican Firecracker
Echeveria setosa is a small, spiky-haired succulent rosette from semi-desert Mexico, grown for its foliage and spring flower spikes. It needs bright light, sharp drainage and infrequent watering, and must be kept above about 7 °C.
Echeveria setosa, the Mexican fire cracker, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to semi-desert areas of Mexico and common throughout Puebla.
Echeveria setosa is cultivated as an ornamental plant. It is grown outside in subtropical climates, such as Southern California. As it requires a minimum temperature of 7 °C (45 °F), it must be grown under glass with heat in colder temperate regions. It can be placed outside during the summer months.
